I’m sure at this time last year,the dates had been released for the 2005 season.In fact,people were e.mailing me with specific dates applicable to themselves,as I had got them through from the LLA,before they were released on the BBMF website.
However,this years aren’t out yet.
Does anyone know when we are likely to see them?
I have a particular interest this year,but need to know soon so I can make others aware.

I will check at work tomorrow, also check to see if I should be telling people!!!!!!!!

I know it’s a bit cheeky, but would it be possible to tell me if Windermere have secured a display on either the 29th or 30th of July. Many thanks.

UPDATE.
Just had a rollicking from ‘er indoors,about not going to the LLA day this year,as she and the kids came last year and really enjoyed it,so it looks like I’ll be there after all.
So my 2 favourite passions will be in evidence on this particular weekend it seems.

That could be very good news for me.
Well I don’t know if you remember,but Scunthorpe Motor Club,held a 2 day event at Blyton in September 2004,and I we had an appearance by the Lancaster,which went down extremely well.
So much so,that I felt compelled to make a 2nd request for this coming September,when once again we are holding a 2 day event,which is part of the British Autograss Series,held over 2 days.
I’m gutted that the Sunday is LLA day,as I won’t be able to make it,due to my commitment to the 2 day event,but as it’s not far away,I’m sure a diversion by the Lancaster,my personal favourite,could be made. 😉
Many thanks for the information.
Ken.

As far as I can see, there is a flypast on the 23rd at Blyton using a Spitfire, can’t see anything down for the Sun, but you do know that is the LLA day!!!

Very much appreciated Stormin.
2 dates that are specific to me,are Sat/Sun 23rd/24th September,at Blyton near Gainsborough.
And if a flypast has been granted,what aircraft will be in attendance.

Have you got a specific flypast that you are wanting to know about, if so let me have the location and date and I will see what I can find out.

Quite coincidentally,the postman has just brought my LLA renewal for 2006. 😀
Yes I remember the dates being made public about March,but at the LLA members day last year,I got talking to one of the ground staff guides,and asked him as to when the people would find out if they were successful in getting an attendance by the Flight,and he said decisions are made sometime about late January/early February,and parties are informed very soon after that.
Maybe I’m just being impatient!!!!!
But I’m 99.9% certain that LLA members had the dates about now.

It’s usually March I think – certainly around that time that show organisers get to know whether they’ve been successful or not.
